The end of the Russo-Turkish War did not bring long-lasting peace to the world, but rather intensified the competition between the two European powers, the United Kingdom and Russia.
In addition to fierce competition on the Balkan Peninsula, there was also significant tension between Russia and the United Kingdom in Central Asia.
Between the Ottoman Empire and the Indian Colony were the countries of Afghanistan and Iran, where the conflict between the United Kingdom and Russia was most intense.
Originally, there were indigenous countries like the Khiva Khanate and the Emirate of Bukhara more to the north, but they were annexed by the Russians a few years ago.
